Company Description
At Beyond Meat, we started with simple questions.
Why do you need an animal to create meat?
Why can’t you build meat directly from plants?
Thus, we make plant-based meats that allow families to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein.
Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate—and Beyond.
